This is probably the toughest game for Morocco because France are flying and looking really positive. And I did say early on in the tournament that Morocco would do well and I have been impressed with them.

That was the reason why I said they were not so much a "dark horse", because they were semi-finalists four years ago, and could do well again. I don't think they'll be semi-finalists this year. France will have enough to beat them.

Spain haven't conceded a goal yet, which tells you they're very good defensively. They're very good in managing the ball. They haven't been brilliant on the eye in every game, but I do think they'll have enough to beat Belgium.

I'm not that impressed with Belgium. I thought what went on with the USA and Belgium and all of that stuff worked tremendously for Belgium because everything that could have gone wrong for USA did. The whole world turned against the USA when that happened. That played into Belgium's hands a bit. Spain will be too good for them.

Argentina are brilliant at times, but defensively a mess sometimes. But when you've got Messi in the team, you're always going to have a chance. He's tournament top scorer and he's missed two penalties. For 80 minutes against Egypt, he had a terrible game. But then the finish was staggering to get the equaliser. It was unbelievable.

Switzerland are a really tough team, well organised. With the pull of Argentina, as defending champions, they will beat Switzerland.
